Melancholy

A feeling of melancholy fills the office. It is the end of August and the summer was short, hot but very short. Cloudy, inclement weather now rolls in, the greyness reflecting the general mood. It is colder, damper air, far sharper in the morning and evening, biting into the knee and elbow joints. The days too are getting shorter, darkness falls just as you reach home. This happens every year but still it comes as a hard blow. It makes our work feel even worse. There is a feeling of despair within all of us. Once talented individuals are reduced in intellectual standing to nothing more than mundane boredom. Its depressing.

Douglas Adams

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

Nothing to lose

'Remembering I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.'
